All occurrence in Pocahontas 2 totally don't make sense. How could Pocahontas easily forgot John Smith after she promised him that, "I'll always be with you forever"? It's also strange that Pocahontas is not that happy to reunite with John Smith. I think Pocahontas in the original movie, even if she at first though John was dead, would be EXTREMELY happy to see John is actually alive!

I think John Smith would have returned to America immediately after he recovered to meet his beloved Pocahontas.

well, we see him chased in the beginning of the movie, so i guess it would have been to dangerous to write her a letter, because it could have fallen into the wrong hands. and it would have been for nothing anyway XD yes, she was able to understand what he said, but if she could read english in one second, it would have been to much disney magic for my taste Xd

She can't read english...............

In the cabin scene in Pocahontas 2. John Smith said "I've started with a few maybe a hundred letters" I'm just wondering if he sent them.

Honestly, it does make sense to me. Like Mongoose09 said she didn't know English that well and also I believe Smith could have some struggles with sending them, but it's canon that he WROTE them. Who knows what stopped him from sending them? Maybe some obstacles, maybe his own fears, maybe the fact that he wasn't sure about his feelings for her anymore. Also he didn't give up his life for her father, he just got injured when defending him which I don't really think has anything to do with the progression of his relationship with Pocahontas.

I agree with LightningRed, although I don't believe Pocahontas could read English (but then, why are they talking about it anyway?). Yeah, they were both willing to die for each other in the first one, but in the second they don't really care. What would you expect from a movie crew that didn't have the original movie in their hands while working on the sequel?

What I meant is,that Disney used it as a reason for showing that Smith doesn't care for her anymore,which it doesn't make sense because he couldn't send the letters or she couldn't read them or something.

"he didn't gave up his life,he JUST got injured" ,sorry but this is important. he was willing to give up his life anyway,so it doesn't make sense as Disney put it "he didn't send letters although Pocahontas was waiting for them -she could have read them in a MAGIC way /lol xp- . He loved her very much for not sending the letters although he had the chance (as Disney showed in the sequel Pocahontas wanted to get some letters,which means she could read but he didn't send them and he couldn't explain why!!).So it doesn't make sense.
John Smith COULD NOT send letters but in the sequel they don't say that,they just say that...actually they can't explain...

It would be kind of difficult to write a letter to someone back then. Sure he 'could' have found a way but you have to consider the time period. It was when they just started going to America and it wasn't like there was a boat going there every week let alone one every six months.

The whole letter thing- it shouldn't be mentioned at all. I mean, if he had recovered from the injury, wouldn't it be more reasonable to actually go back than find someone who would travel to the New World to send the letters? I don't know, there's no logic to this movie.

Perhaps he could have given the letters to Rolfe...!(?) :P

If someone has a will, he can try to find a way.

Plus, I think Grandmother Willow and Pocahontas' mother can help Pocahontas understand English letter the way she makes her understand John's English. Pocahontas will understand anything related to her loved John Smith....

:p

I really think it all comes down to the difficulties about Smith's situation when he had to hide from Ratcliffe and his people. It wasn't easy. Plus the English language obstacle. Finally, he DID write them, but he just didn't send them, which means that he HAD things to tell her but had no CHANCE to send his letters. At least how I see it.

That whole movie is a fail.

I liked this movie. Pocahontas ended up marrying John Rolfe in real life. I think Disney was trying to have her end up with the person she ends up with in real life. In the beginning of the movie John Smith was suppose to have been killed. He couldn't come back to her. Once in England with the distance I think he lost sight of his love for her. He was a world explorer and got caught up with being home. When Pocahontas found out John Smith was "dead" she had to deal with that. It took her a long time to get over her feelings for him. (Nakoma and her talk about how Smith had been dead for a while and Pocahontas needed to move on.) She baries his compass and is sets herself to finally let him go. Then she is spending time with John Rolfe. He is different from John Smith and she falls for him. I think its the concept like when you lose a pet the best way to get over the lose is to get a new one. (Something about preserving memories and making new ones.) When Smith shows up not dead I think she gets torn. She has the song "Where do I go from here" reprise to help her decide several things. One thing being that she has moved on from her love from Smith. They missed their moment. I liked both John's and think she was great with both of them.
